AWRA is a survivor-led network of African activists, thought leaders and entrepreneurs committed to addressing the socio-economic, political, and environmental challenges faced by African women and girls. Founded by African women in the diaspora and on the continent, AWRA aims to combat systemic inequities through openness, collaborative partnerships, and impactful campaigns. The organization is a global social movement, bringing together leaders, grassroots activists, and donors to influence policy, drive accountability, and ensure gender equity.
AWRA’s work is rooted in a "for us, by us" philosophy, ensuring that African women and girls are at the forefront of decision-making processes that affect their lives. With regional hubs in Kenya and The Gambia, global hubs in the Netherlands and the UK, and a remote team spanning multiple countries, AWRA leverages its diverse network to champion transformative solutions to issues such as (FGM) and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
